Harbhajan Singh demands an answer from Ravi Shastri
After India's dreadful loss in the second Test at Lord's, former cricketers are demanding an explanation from Team India for their poor performance. Harbhajan Singh, who has 417 Test wickets for India, demanded an explanation from coach Ravi Shastri. Notably, Shastri had earlier claimed that this squad can become the best traveling team in the world. Here are further details.
Team India's poor performances in the England series
India are down 0-2 in the ongoing England Test series after losses at Edgbaston and Lord's. The second Test was a complete disaster as India lost by an innings and 159 runs. This was the worst performance ever by India under the captaincy of Virat Kohli. The second Test just ended in three days after rains halted the opening day's play.
What were the comments by Ravi Shastri that irked Singh?
Shastri, before the series started, seemed very confident and had claimed that the Indian cricket team would be aggressive on the field and would always play to win. He also stated, "For us, there is no away, every game is a home game because we don't play the opponent, we play the pitch. Our job is to conquer the pitch wherever we go."
Harbhajan Singh's comments on Shastri
The former off-spinner has stated that Shastri is surely answerable after the boastful comments he had made earlier. Singh commented, "The coach has to come on record, today or tomorrow he has to speak up. He is answerable to everyone. If India loses the series, then he might have to eat his words and admit that conditions do make a lot of difference."
